A non-profit teamed up with a heat-pump installation marketplace (VoltHub) and a heat-pump contractor to put together a group buy. No money comes from the government. It's just some folks teaming up to help buyers get leverage on manufacturers, and save 10-20%.
The beneficiaries are installers, technicians, homeowners, and anybody who likes more efficient hvac.
It's actually a pretty solid example of what people who don't want the government involved _should_ support.
The "About" and "Leadership" sections of the website show that there is government involvement, and the "Funding Partners" section shows that the CEC (a state government entity) is providing funding.
I was responding to a false claim that the pumps are being bought by the government to support a donor.
The CEC put in minor funds to launch and market the program. But the program itself does NOT involve government purchases or subsidies of the equipment.
Every time I've done that, the people were so ignorant that they still didn't recognize that expert judgment was required... they just had the LLM make some slop.
